Today I went to the grocery store in my PJs. Which I have to confess is not entirely out of charterer for me, but is also not a regular occurrence, and was done with much hesitation. It came down to having to make a decision. I had it in me to either get dressed this afternoon or go to the store to get the things I needed for dinner. I did not have it in me to do both. I opted for food. I had a distinct craving for baked potatoes and chili and that's what I got. Then I got to the parking lot and I puked my guts out. Yap, right there in the King Soopers parking lot. Super awesome moment for me. I'm just proud of myself for making it out of the store really. Now the only thing I have a craving for is Tylenol and sleep. The Tylenol should be easy enough, and as soon as I have the energy to drag my body up the stairs where the Tylenol is, I'll be sure to take some. The sleep, I am not counting on. Nate is going to Klondoree tomorrow. Which if you're not familiar with scouts, Klondoree is code for torture. Actually, it's a big winter camp out, also code for torture. It is some how left to me to make sure that Nate has everything he needs for this camp out ready to go tonight. I hate scouting! Okay, to be fair, today I hate scouting. Most days I'm just not interested in it. But I have said that to what ever extent the boys want to participate in scouting, I will be supportive of that, and Nate wants to go to Klondoree. Oy.

update- Sam is on his way home and will be helping Nate get packed. My friend Cara is taking Gracie to basketball practice. Sam will pick her up and take all of the kids to dinner and then to scouts and activity days. I am going to bed, and there is a God!!!

Oh Natalie! I totally puked in the walmart parking lot, and then again right in the middle of the store and then at the checkout, I left Corbin and Quinc in the cart and ran over to the Arvest and puked in the trash, there. And then our primary president walked up like an angel from heaven and finished loading everything up. A friend brought dinner out of the blue tonight and it was an absolute miracle. I know exactly how you feel. Like exactly. Thank goodness for Zofran or I'd be in a hospital. Hopefully things will start looking up in the next few weeks. Until then, I'm counting the days until my mom gets here to hold my hair back! Thinking of you :)
oh and do you love the looks that you get from people that think you are just hungover or on drugs? I get those looks a lot. Then again, that miiiight just be because I was at a missouri walmart, and I was in my pajamas, and my kid (also in his pj's) had taken off his shoes so we looked extra classy. Aaron jokes that he should just wear a shirt that says, "forgive her, she's pregnant." as an explanation because I am mean, sick, and unfiltered when I'm pregnant.
I have so much to say about this post... Puking in public or all over myself while driving... My brothers frostbite experience on the klonderee... My feelings about scouts in general... I feel your pain
Oh Natalie you are so good to be having a 6th child if you get morning sickness. Leslie got it bad and I after seeing her on her first pregnancy I swore I wouldn't have more than 2 kids if I had to puke all over. You're a very giving mom!
